Ingredients

10 Tablespoons (144g) unsalted butter

8 ounces (228g) quality semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped*

1 cup (200g) sifted granulated sugar*

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (78g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

2 Tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

optional: ice cream, chocolate sauce, maraschino cherries for serving

Directions

Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Or melt in a medium microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, in the microwave. Remove from the heat, pour into a large mixing bowl, and allow to slightly cool for 10 minutes.

Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease your oven-safe skillet.

Whisk the sifted sugar into the cooled chocolate/butter mixture. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour batter into the prepared skillet and bake for 30-32 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake– the brownie will taste a little dry. Err on the side of underbaking, which gives you that gooey brownie center. All ovens and skillets are different, so keep an eye on it after 28 minutes and use the toothpick test to see when it’s finished.

Allow the brownie to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a cherry on top.
